Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Grandfather Apologizes to Grandson
The rain stopped at sunset, and the stock market closed.
Ryder Lewis held a press conference to condemn Harry Hunter and the Hunter Family, but it had little effect.
The stock price of the Lewis Clan Group plunged again.
The Star Region Group’s stock price miraculously rebounded due to the appearance of the old CEO, Ben Hunter.
He had led the Hunter Clan Group for decades, donating billions to various sectors of society. He had funded many elementary schools across the country, and Wayne University in A City was founded by him, with the entire land being his donation. The name "Wayne" thus originated.
Countless people in A City admired him immensely; his reputation was unmatched.
Since the Hunter Clan Group was renamed to Star Region Group, he had rarely been seen. Rumor had it he was wholeheartedly mentoring his grandson, and now it’s evident he’s come out to clean up his grandson’s mess.
Ben Hunter appeared in a dark blue suit, looking spirited and standing tall, with his white hair impeccably groomed. At the press conference, he spoke eloquently and calmly.
Yet inside, he was cursing.
Because his subordinate had just sent him a message.
The all-round genius grandson he had painstakingly cultivated was not rescuing the situation but was instead at home sleeping!
He was multitasking: listening to questions, checking messages, and cursing Harry Hunter.
Reporter: "It’s said that Young Master Hunter is uneducated and only knows how to talk about love. Does he really not have the ability to manage such a huge corporation? Are you considering selecting another heir for the group?"
Rubbish!
Ben Hunter almost couldn’t hold back from swearing out loud!
My grandson is just fine!
"Harry Hunter’s abilities will be proven by him in the future, and I welcome supervision from all sectors of society. However, I want to clarify one thing: Harry Hunter is not as rumored by the outside world. He is twenty-six years old this year and has actually only dated one girlfriend, who is now his wife, Isabella Weaver. Three years ago, he was engaged to Cherry Lewis, which was a decision made by both families, and the children were forced into it."
Ben Hunter’s voice was steady and powerful: "The reason I am holding this press conference on his behalf today is firstly because Harry Hunter was seriously injured in that explosion accident and is currently bedridden. Secondly, I wanted to take this opportunity to apologize to my grandson."
The media below buzzed with amazement!
The heir of the Hunter Family seriously injured?
A grandfather apologizing to his grandson?
Ben Hunter seemed not to notice the shock on their faces and calmly said to the camera: "Harry, it was wrong of Grandpa in the past to force you to marry someone you didn’t love. Grandpa is old and neglected the rights of young people to pursue love and happiness. I’m glad you’ve found your true love. Blessings to you and Isabella!"
The venue was silent for a moment, then erupted in enthusiastic applause!
Inside the villa, Isabella Weaver was watching the live broadcast on TV.
She was moved to tears, turning to Harry Hunter with a face of indifference and said: "Grandpa is so kind! He even apologized to you, in front of the whole nation."
Harry Hunter wiped away her tears: "Stop crying, can’t you see he’s faking it?"
"Huh?"
"He’s shrewd and never does anything without benefit. Do you really think that was a sincere apology? He’s probably cursing me in his heart right now."
"No way, I don’t think Grandpa is like that!"
Harry Hunter shook his head helplessly, his young wife was indeed naive, truly thinking the old man was anything but a good person!
The old man is quite skilled at acting, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been tricked into a rushed marriage.
He’s ruthless enough to deceive even his own son and grandson!
